Rutland 1200 Windcharger

Maximum Power Point Tracking technology is used on both the Wind Turbine and solar panel inputs to electronically boost the power outputs, charging your batteries faster.  The controller intelligently controls the inputs and battery voltage to give efficient charging and fine battery voltage regulation and maintenance.

Input capacity of the unit is high, accepting both the Rutland 1200 with up to 20A of solar panels, that’s 250W @ 12V and 500W @ 24V.   Outputs to 2 battery banks make this an ideal solution for keeping batteries charged on sailing yachts.

Speed governing of the turbine occurs electronically from the controller, this becomes active at 15m/s or 29Kn or 35mph.  This intermittently alters the speed of the turbine to reduce aerodynamic and electrical stresses on the system.

A remote digital display will be available in Spring 2016.  The controller has built in LED indicators and shutdown Switches for the charge inputs.
